January 22nd, 2003- Jersey City, NJ.- The band Superthrive has been busy at work in Threshold Studios (NYC), completing tracks for their upcoming release. Due to the attention they received from their last CD, โ€œLive At CBGB'sโ€, writer Lewis R. Skillman of The Patriot Press was allowed a sneak preview of the material while the band cut tracks. Mr. Skillman published his review in the January 20th issue of the Queens based paper and spoke highly of the projected material. โ€œThe song STITCHES is going to be a breakthrough for this four piece bandโ€ฆa tight powerful almost โ€œpopโ€ song in the vein of Foo Fighters and The Hivesโ€โ€ฆ Mr. Skillman also noted โ€œanother gem is the song STRATOFORTRESS. A grooving catchy riff with lyrics conveying a sense of political and social consciousness laced with satireโ€โ€ฆ โ€œSuperthrive's new material shows a diverse, intense and refreshingly real style, this is the band to watch for in 2003.โ€
It's been less then a year since Superthrive's last release. โ€œLive at CBGB'sโ€ has become a piece of underground anthology that has received numerous rave reviews. The band released the live recording to show what writer Constantino Andruzzi of Vincebus Eruptium said is one of their โ€œstrongest featuresโ€. Their live sound. Very few indie bands have tried this approach. However the idea proved to be innovative and rewarding. The live recording brought even more attention to their first studio release โ€œSeven Songs For Sinnersโ€ (Beard Of Stars Records). Stonedgods.com reviewer El Nino, gave the album 4 out of 5 stars saying โ€œThe band plays very inspired heavy rock reminiscent of some of the Seattle heroesโ€โ€ฆ โ€œCool ideas, a very original approachโ€ฆand some of the best chorus's I have heard in a long timeโ€.
The band has drawn attention from indie labels and producers. The organization Women In Rock reviewed the live material and called the band immediately. In cyber space the attention is equal. The band's website received over 1,000 hits since November 1st and the Superthrive website is rated as the number 1 site for searches on Google.com. Underground Music Television posted Superthrive's live video on their website (www.umtv.info ) and began playing it in rotation on the show. Quickly Superthrive's video for the song โ€œWatch Us Burnโ€ was voted into the top five videos for UMTV.
While Superthrive finishes up their recording they are also working on numerous shows in and around their home turf NYC. They have submitted material to be considered to play in the Rhode Island Block Music Festival, the Warped tour and this year's Ozzfest when it hits the East Coast.
End.
